Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I already looked. I found a Six13 thread but nothing that elaborated on the SystemSix.

Great race specific bike. Fastest/most stable cornering bike I've ridden (Spec Allez, CAAD 8, CR1 Pro), very stiff laterally, decent road vibe absorption, almost overly twitchy riding sans hands (something you'll get used to...but at first). Geometries keep the front a bit low for casual riders but I've no real complaints.
Oh and get the Al SI cranks...so sweet.

Is it overly aggressive? I believe it was made to compete with the CR1 if I'm not mistaken.

That's your call not mine, compared to the CAAD8 the head tube is roughly a cm shorter (I think) so it depends on your position.
